Open Notebook
The most feature-complete open-source alternative to Google's NotebookLM — a self-hosted research platform where you upload PDFs, videos, audio files, and web pages into organized notebooks, then chat with your content, generate multi-speaker podcasts, and run semantic search across everything without sending a single byte to Google's servers. The podcast engine supports 1-4 fully customizable speakers with backstories, personalities, and expertise profiles, generating professional audio dialogue through OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Google TTS, or completely local text-to-speech via Kokoro for maximum privacy. Content processing uses token-based chunking with RAG-powered retrieval grounded in your uploaded sources, while both full-text keyword search and semantic vector search via SurrealDB enable conceptual discovery across all notebooks. The 18+ supported AI providers include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Groq, Ollama, LM Studio, and more — configurable per task so you can route cheap models to summarization and powerful models to analysis. Content transformations extract insights, generate summaries, create study guides, and produce structured outputs from any source material. The MCP integration connects Open Notebook to Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other MCP clients for seamless workflow integration. A full REST API on port 5055 enables complete automation of notebook management, source upload, and podcast generation. Deploy via Docker Compose with the application container, SurrealDB v2 on RocksDB, and optional TTS containers.

Reactive Resume
With over 38,000 GitHub stars, nearly one million registered users, and over 1.3 million resumes created, Reactive Resume delivers a professional resume creation experience that rivals commercial platforms like Resume.io and Zety without collecting user data, showing advertisements, or imposing paywall restrictions. The real-time WYSIWYG editor renders changes instantly as users type, providing immediate visual feedback across all resume sections including work experience, education, skills, certifications, projects, and custom sections with typed extensions. Over fifteen professionally designed templates with full color customization, font selection, spacing adjustment, and icon style selectors ensure each resume reflects individual style preferences. The drag-and-drop system lets users move items between sections and pages freely across multi-column and full-width layouts. PDF generation produces pixel-perfect documents using a headless Chromium rendering pipeline, ensuring consistent output across all devices and print settings. Multi-language support covers over twenty languages with RTL script handling for Arabic and Hebrew. Authentication supports passkeys and multiple OAuth providers via Better Auth, while self-hosted deployment runs via Docker Compose with PostgreSQL and Browserless for PDF rendering. The import system accepts JSON Resume format, LinkedIn data exports, and PDF/DOCX files when AI integration is configured. AI-powered content suggestions using OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, or local Ollama models help improve bullet points and professional summaries. A CSS editor with autocompletion allows fine-grained styling control. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Joplin
Notes on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and the terminal, synced through your own server: Joplin pairs its open-source clients with Joplin Server, the official self-hosted backend that replaces Dropbox, OneDrive, or Nextcloud as the synchronization target. Notes are Markdown with inline attachments (images, PDFs, audio), organized into hierarchical notebooks and sub-notebooks with cross-cutting tags, alongside to-do lists with reminders and alarms. End-to-end encryption is the headline feature: enabled in the clients, it encrypts sync payloads on-device before upload, so the server stores blobs it cannot read - genuine protection even if the host is compromised. The desktop app offers both Rich Text and Markdown editors, extended by a plugin ecosystem, custom themes, and an Extension API for writing your own scripts; a Web Clipper for Chrome and Firefox captures full pages or screenshots straight into notebooks. Joplin Server ships as a Docker image with SQLite for evaluation and PostgreSQL for production, offers a filesystem storage driver for large content, and includes multi-user support and note sharing - all free under AGPL-3.0 when self-hosted. Notes stay in an open format, so the exit path always exists.
DashBeam
DashBeam sends files and folders of any size straight from one device to another, end to end encrypted, with no cloud account, no size limits, and nothing parked on a third party server in between. Drop in a file and share it through a short code, a link, or a QR scan; whoever receives it needs no account and can collect it in a plain browser tab with nothing installed. On the same network, nearby machines appear on their own, so pairing two devices and sending between them takes a couple of clicks instead of a cable or a memory stick. Pair a device once and it stays reachable by its identity, so your machines can exchange files from anywhere without swapping fresh tickets every time. Interrupted transfers resume where they stopped, and hopping from Wi-Fi to cellular mid-send does not drop the connection. One share can fan out to several receivers at once, and devices you mark as trusted can accept files automatically, which suits pushing builds, media libraries, or backups around a small fleet. You can preview what is arriving before downloading it, and a local history records every completed transfer. The repository also ships Docker Compose stacks for your own relay and discovery server, so even the encrypted fallback path can run entirely on machines you own. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
TubeHaus
Watch YouTube without the ads, accounts, or tracking, from a server you own: TubeHaus is a private YouTube client that keeps the familiar layout, URLs, and keyboard shortcuts. Your subscriptions, watch history, resume positions, Watch Later, and playlists live as files on the server, so every device in the house shares one library and picks up a video where another screen left it. Live streams play with segments fetched ahead of the player, and captions are transcribed on the fly when a stream has none. Chapters, storyboard previews, a mini player, and theater mode make long videos easy to navigate, while sponsors are skipped automatically and dislike counts come back to the page. Save videos offline in 1080p or 4K for trips, send playback to a TV from your phone without a separate casting dongle, and drive the television interface entirely from a remote. Imports arrive from a Google Takeout export, Invidious, NewPipe, or FreeTube, so years of subscriptions move over in minutes instead of being rebuilt by hand. A calm mode hides recommendations and Shorts when you only want to search and watch deliberately. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
Haven
Haven gives your community a private chat server with voice calls, screen sharing, and end-to-end encrypted direct messages where friends join via invite link in their browser without installing apps or creating third-party accounts. Real-time messaging supports image uploads via paste and drag-drop, emoji reactions, replies, threads, typing indicators, @mentions with autocomplete, and inline GIF search through Tenor or GIPHY. Peer-to-peer WebRTC voice chat includes per-user volume sliders, mute and deafen controls, talking indicators, and screen sharing with picture-in-picture mode. Direct messages use ECDH P-256 key exchange with AES-256-GCM symmetric encryption where private keys never leave the browser, ensuring not even the server operator can read them. Twenty-plus visual themes with stackable effects including CRT scanlines, Matrix Rain, Cyberpunk Text Scramble, Snowfall, and Campfire Embers let users personalize the experience with configurable intensity sliders. Rich Presence integration shows what members are playing or listening to via Last.fm, Steam, and Spotify. A built-in bot API supports webhooks and custom slash commands, while Discord history import preserves channels, threads, forums, reactions, pins, and avatars. The Node.js server deploys via Docker Compose or a single batch file that auto-handles dependencies, SSL certificates, and configuration. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
RustXNG
RustXNG gives your AI agents a private web search API that needs no keys, no accounts, and no per-search fees: ask once and get ranked results plus the text of the top pages, ready to ground an answer in real sources. A single request fans out to 180 search engines in parallel, drawn from 226 engine types covering general web, images, video, academic literature, package registries, and news, then merges what comes back with its own ranking that rewards term coverage and canonical-site authority instead of trusting any one engine's order. Engines that time out or keep answering nothing are suspended with backoff and rested automatically, so one dead source never stalls a task, and a repeated query returns from cache in about a hundredth of a second. Call it over HTTP with the familiar SearXNG-shaped JSON, CSV, RSS, or HTML formats, narrow results by domain, engine, or time range, or run the built-in MCP server and hand your agent native search and read_page tools with bounded, truncation-aware responses. Page fetches are hardened against untrusted URLs, an experimental local index can crawl your own corpus and merge it into results, and health, metrics, and per-engine status stay visible through the ops endpoints and the browser UI. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
magpie
Point every coding agent and chat client at one self-hosted gateway, then choose which model answers from a single browser console. Add providers by preset or custom OpenAI-compatible URL, or sign in with the subscriptions you already pay for. Routing groups bundle several models into one name and move to the next member when a quota runs out, so the calling agent never sees the error. Create a gateway key per client, cap each with daily token or cost budgets, restrict its models, and watch usage counted separately. The Usage pages chart tokens, cost, request counts, cache hit rate, and a yearly heatmap, split by model, provider, or agent, with CSV export. A Routing view replays how each request was routed, with timing for masking, connecting, and the vendor. Masking swaps passwords, API keys, and tokens for placeholders before a prompt leaves your server and restores them in the answer. The browser page is protected by a key you set at launch. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Cryptpad
End-to-end encrypted by design, CryptPad is a real-time office suite where teams write documents, plan on kanban boards, collect answers with forms, and draw diagrams without the hosting server ever seeing their content. Rich text pages come with comments, replies, @mentions, and a document outline, while the Markdown editor adds a live preview, Mermaid diagrams, mind maps, and math. Kanban columns hold colored, tagged cards with Markdown bodies, and the diagram editor exports PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF. Optional ONLYOFFICE editors add spreadsheets, word-processing documents, and presentations that several people can edit together. The form builder offers text, choice, grid, date, ranking, and poll questions, conditional sections, and separate author, auditor, and participant roles. Documents can be shared with contacts or teams, by link, or as embed code, with view, edit, present, or view-once access. Passwords, expiry dates, owner lists, and access lists limit who gets in, and every edit lands in a history you can step through, restore, or pin as a named snapshot. CryptDrive keeps files in folders, tags, templates, and a trash bin, while teams get their own drive, chat, and member roles. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
Actual Budget
Every unit of income gets a job in Actual Budget - a local-first personal finance app built on envelope (zero-sum) budgeting, where you can only budget cash you actually have, which keeps the plan honest by construction. The data model is a SQLite file that lives on your device and works fully offline; the self-hosted Node.js sync server adds background multi-device synchronization using CRDT-based distributed-systems machinery, browser and mobile access as an installable web app, and automated backups. Optional end-to-end encryption makes the synced data unreadable even to the server hosting it. Transactions enter three ways: manual entry, file import (CSV, QIF, OFX, QFX, CAMT.053), or automatic bank syncing through GoCardless for EU/UK banks and SimpleFIN for US/Canada. Built-in YNAB4 and nYNAB importers migrate complete budget histories, and reports, schedules for recurring transactions, and rule-based transaction cleanup handle the day-to-day. A fully featured local API lets developers script custom importers and automation against their own data. 100% free, open source, and 26k stars strong.
FoxProfile
Every account you run deserves its own browser identity, and FoxProfile keeps those identities permanently separate instead of letting them bleed into one another. Create a profile once and it remembers its device: screen, GPU, CPU cores, fonts, and canvas noise are generated on first launch and reused on every later one, so the fingerprint a site saw yesterday is the fingerprint it sees tomorrow. Sessions stick too: history, cookies, and logins live in the profile directory, and the tabs you left open reopen where you left them. Each profile carries its own proxy (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5, with a built-in checker) while timezone and locale follow the exit IP automatically or stay pinned to your choice, and the Check IP button compares the exit address across three services and flags mismatches or datacenter addresses. Cookies move in and out as standard editor JSON or Netscape files, whole profiles travel as ZIP archives, and bulk actions launch, stop, or delete fleets at once. On a server, the web panel runs profiles headlessly so you can manage them and view their screens from anywhere, the REST API scripts everything, and the MCP server lets AI agents drive the browsers directly. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Cryptgeon
Passwords pasted into chat live forever, but a Cryptgeon note vanishes the moment it has been read. You type a note or pick a file, press create, and get a share link with a QR code to hand over. Encryption happens in the browser with XChaCha20-Poly1305, so the server holds only ciphertext and never sees the key that sits after the hash in the link. Advanced options set the number of views or a lifetime in minutes, and a custom password can be required on top of the generated key. Everything is kept in memory in a Valkey or Redis cache, so nothing is written to disk. Operators tune limits with environment variables for note size, maximum views, maximum expiration, file uploads, and ID length. The interface is a calm monospace page with dark and light themes. A command-line client sends notes from a terminal, and a Raycast extension covers the macOS launcher. Theme text, logo, favicon, and an imprint page can be customized to match a team or company. A health endpoint reports status to proxies and orchestrators. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Rybbit
Google Analytics without the cookie banner or the maze of menus: Rybbit puts web and product analytics for every site you run on one readable dashboard, hosted on your own server. Pageviews, sessions, unique users, bounce rate, session duration, traffic sources, campaigns, devices, and countries update in real time beside a live visitor count. Session replay lets you watch the visits behind the numbers, and user profiles tie identified visitors to their sessions and events. Funnels pinpoint where conversions leak, journeys chart the paths people take through a site, retention reports show who comes back, and goals track conversions from page visits, custom events, and autocaptured clicks. Custom events carry JSON properties, filters slice every report across more than 15 dimensions, saved segments reapply them in one click, and location tracking drills from country to region to city on interactive maps, with optional 3D globe views through a Mapbox token. Error tracking connects JavaScript failures to the affected sessions, so a spike in errors leads straight to the visits that explain it. One install serves unlimited sites and organizations with role-based access, public dashboards share a site's stats through a link, and a tracking script of about 11 KB compressed collects data with no cookies and no consent banner. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
Odysseus
Agents with tool use, deep research, a document editor, an IMAP/SMTP email client with AI triage, notes, tasks, and a CalDAV-synced calendar - Odysseus bundles all of it into one open-source, self-hosted AI workspace. It runs local models through Ollama, vLLM, or llama.cpp and cloud APIs like OpenAI and OpenRouter, with a hardware-aware Cookbook that scans your machine and recommends quantized models that fit. Persistent memory uses ChromaDB with hybrid vector-plus-keyword retrieval, web search runs through a bundled SearXNG instance, and agents can use MCP servers, files, and shell access with safety controls, plus custom skills and scheduled agent tasks. A blind Compare mode runs side-by-side model duels with identities hidden and accumulates Elo-style ratings from your votes, so model selection is based on your actual workloads rather than leaderboard claims. Deep research mode - adapted from the Tongyi DeepResearch approach - reads sources through SearXNG and produces cited reports, while the email client tags, summarizes, sets reminders, and drafts replies locally rather than through a third-party mail AI. The writing-first document editor adds AI edits, Markdown and HTML support, and version history. The stack is Python 3.11 with FastAPI, SQLite for state, and a vanilla JS frontend, licensed AGPL-3.0 with zero telemetry. Because agents can read email and execute commands, keep authentication enabled and never expose it as a public unauthenticated service.
Neko
With over 21,000 GitHub stars and six years of steady development through version 3.1.0, Neko transforms any Docker container into a fully interactive browser or desktop environment streamed to web browsers via WebRTC with sub-300-millisecond glass-to-glass latency. The Go backend captures X server display frames using the Pion WebRTC library while the Vue.js frontend renders the remote session with native audio synchronization, delivering a significantly smoother experience than Apache Guacamole or noVNC which rely on image-over-WebSocket approaches. Multiple users simultaneously view and collaboratively control the same session with real-time input synchronization and host-managed control passing between participants. Pre-built Docker images cover Firefox, Chromium, Google Chrome, Tor Browser, Brave, Vivaldi, and Microsoft Edge alongside full desktop environments including XFCE and KDE for running any Linux application. Neko Rooms provides multi-tenant deployment with a REST API for programmatic room provisioning, while Neko Apps extends the platform with additional containerized applications beyond browsers. Sessions persist on the server independently of client connections — close your laptop, reconnect from your phone, and resume exactly where you left off. Optional VPN and Tor integration routes traffic through encrypted tunnels for privacy-sensitive browsing. RTMP broadcasting streams sessions to external platforms. The embeddable client supports iframe integration for custom portals and applications. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
Project NOMAD
When the connection drops, Project NOMAD keeps serving offline Wikipedia, Khan Academy courses, maps, and an optional private AI assistant from a single Debian-based Linux server. The core needs only about 5 GB of disk and under 1 GB of RAM. Content is what fills the drive, and a setup wizard sorts it into Essential, Standard, and Comprehensive tiers while a storage bar tracks the running total. Wikipedia runs from a quick-reference set of the top 100,000 articles to the complete English edition with images at about 121 GB, and Kiwix also serves medical references, survival and repair guides, and Project Gutenberg ebooks. Kolibri adds Khan Academy courses with multi-user progress tracking, and any browser on the network can study. Offline maps cover the whole globe, single countries, or regions, with markers you can search, color, and navigate to by coordinate. The AI assistant is the heavy part, bringing the install to roughly 25 GB. It chats through Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible server such as LM Studio, searches uploaded documents, lists sources with dates when known, and lets vision models read attached images. CyberChef handles encoding and hashing, and FlatNotes keeps Markdown notes. The Supply Depot adds one-click apps or your own Docker containers. Opt-in auto-updates for the Command Center, installed apps, and downloaded content run inside a window you set. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.
LibreChat
Every major model provider behind one ChatGPT-style interface: LibreChat spans OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint including local Ollama. You can switch models mid-conversation and compare providers without changing tools. Its Agents framework builds no-code custom assistants with tool access via Model Context Protocol servers, file search over uploaded documents through an optional pgvector-backed RAG service, and a sandboxed Code Interpreter that executes Python, JavaScript, Go, C++, Java, PHP, and Rust. Artifacts render React components, HTML, and Mermaid diagrams directly in chat, and image generation works through DALL-E and other configured providers. Multi-user support is enterprise-grade, with OAuth, SAML, LDAP, and two-factor authentication, per-user conversation history in MongoDB, and Meilisearch-powered search across all messages and files, plus reusable presets, forkable threads, and persistent memory across conversations. The economics favor teams: instead of a ChatGPT Plus seat per person, everyone shares one instance billed per API token, with access to every provider rather than one - and providers see individual API calls, not your accumulated organizational knowledge. Deployment is Docker Compose; API keys and endpoints are configured through .env and librechat.yaml.
Mere Medical
Mere Medical pulls the records from every hospital and clinic patient portal you use into one date-ordered timeline, so lab panels, immunizations, and procedures from different systems sit side by side. Each timeline card shows its facility and, when recorded, the provider, and expands with View More; a Jump To index leaps between years. The Summary tab condenses bookmarked labs, medications, conditions, immunizations, care plans, and allergies onto one dashboard whose cards can be dragged into any order or hidden. Lab results are graphed over time wherever the units line up, and a search bar finds specific entries by keyword. Connections sync from Epic MyChart, Oracle Health (Cerner), Veradigm, DrChrono, eClinicalWorks Healow, athenahealth, and NextGen, and several sources can feed one profile at once. Everything lives on your device, so records stay searchable offline and no account sign-in is needed; an optional password encrypts them at rest. Separate user profiles hold each person's records, and JSON export and import make backups simple. Experimental AI features add semantic search that links a phrase like high blood sugar to related labs, plus a Mere Assistant that answers plain-language questions about your records using local Ollama models or an OpenAI key. Install it on a phone or desktop home screen for quick access in the waiting room. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
